Use your waders just for wading. Not hiking or rock climbing. If you fish spots where you have to take exaggerated steps to get up on rocks - just that motion alone is going to compromise the seam on the upper thigh and crotch. If all your spots are like that then it's time to consider a wetsuit - you're just going to burn through waders.
Get a pair of hip boots and splash pants and use them on the breachways, jetties, cliffs and shallow boulder fields.
